A good read from Douglas ? 

He excels at this long read behind the scenes stuff.  
 

He does not excel at facts such as when a new sporting director may start.

Good read on Suds and co in the data department. 

 

One innovation around data has seen him develop an algorithm that assesses performances relative to the strength of the league they are playing in.

 

Using data and artificial intelligence, he developed a “tax rate” for leagues all over the world, which is then used in a mathematical equation that works out whether their performances are impressive enough to warrant a conversation about them becoming a transfer target.

 

It goes like this: player A scores 20 goals in the Belgian league and has physical data that stands out. The equation developed by Gopaladesikan multiplies those numbers by the league’s “tax rate” adjusted by the team’s relative strength in the league. If the numbers still stand out, it feels like a green flag for the scouting team.

 

That would be good for Newcastle because it would allow them to consider a much, much larger pool of players from markets they couldn’t cover with traditional scouting methods.

Look at the big brain on Suds!

 

I suppose if we’re not going for the same pool of players every transfer window they can only be a good thing.

My fav thing about the tax rate is how that is prob something a lot of teams have and they fed Douglas that to keep the juicy shit behind closed doors. 


Yeah I’d have to assume every team has some version of this :lol: it’s not a particularly complex idea

He works for Forest 


Here’s hoping he smashed the emergency exit on their team coach on the way out before barrel rolling out.
